FOP should correctly find and use system fonts, and should correctly work with TTF fonts. The problem is that FOP doesn't find the fonts provided by XWiki because Tomcat doesn't use an URI scheme that FOP understands. You can extract WEB-INF/lib/xwiki-core-XYZ.java#fop-config.xml into WEB-INF/classes and adjust the settings so that you manually specify the path to the right font files. The syntax for the config xml should be on the FOP site. > Now questions are: > How can I invoke customized FOP with additional parameter for my config > file from Xwiki? > Or how can I change default font From "Times-Roman" to "Lucida Sans > Unicode"? Extract xhtml2fo.xsl from WEB-INF/lib/xwiki-core-XYZ.jar into WEB-INF/classes and search for the line: FreeSerif,serif Replace FreeSerif with what you want. > Valdis > >> On 02/01/2010 09:47 PM, Valdis Vītoliņš wrote: >>> I'm investigating issue http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4724 >>> Now I can generate right PDF using separate FOP with additional >>> configuration files and invocation parameters. >>> Though I don't know, how to invoke it in such way from Xwiki. >>> >>> Do you have any suggestions/ideas? >> >> I gave a workaround in a comment on that issue, in case somebody else is >> interested in this problem and wants an answer. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [xwiki-users] PDF with UTF characters
I learned how to add custom TTF font and metrics for FOP. Test project can be downloaded from http://odo.lv/ftp/temp/FOP.zip There are FOP jars and "Lucida Sans Unicode" TTF font with generated metrics file. Metrics can be created using generate_font_metrics.bat script. Test PDF can be generated with test1.bat script. Now questions are: How can I invoke customized FOP with additional parameter for my config file from Xwiki? Or how can I change default font From "Times-Roman" to "Lucida Sans Unicode"?

[xwiki-users] PDF with UTF characters
I'm investigating issue http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4724 Now I can generate right PDF using separate FOP with additional configuration files and invocation parameters. Though I don't know, how to invoke it in such way from Xwiki. Do you have any suggestions/ideas? Valdis ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
